A dauntless call from the grasslands of Mongolia
A new sound that melds the ancient and the contemporary
Andagai has performed with good reviews at the Cannes Music Festival, the Brussels Royal Opera House, the Vienna Golden Hall and the Beijing Olympics.
Altan uul is leading a new generation of top musicians in Inner Mongolia. With the matouqin (horse head string instrument), khoomei throat singing (a special vocality art of mongol minority), the guitar, percussion and the hichiriki (consisting of bamboo pipes and a reed mouthpiece), he embeds Mongolian melodies into the contemporary music styles of rock, electronic music, hit pop, etc.
As we talk about the Northern China, the image of the hero comes into mind; as we think of the heroes the battlefield with shining spears and armored horses will appear before our eyes. However, Seeking peace is every hero¡¦s most determined dream When they Pillow on a weapon and sleep on an armor.
In the music record, composers and players fused subtly the solitary remote mysterious characteristic of Tartar pipe with the modern musical instruments¡¦ dexterity and mellowness. They offered the banquet of music and invited the audience to share it with them. Through the music we only want to tell you a story ¡V an ancient heroic story. If you hear and sense a distinctive obscure giant figure there we will be delighted because that is exactly the meaning we want to express ¡V the genuine interpretation of the hero and peace.
